The Beverly Hills City Council voted to approve the historic One Beverly Hills development in a 4-1 vote, with Councilmember John Mirisch casting the only no vote. Though the project is far from breaking ground, the vote grants the entitlements it needs to move forward.
The One Beverly Hills development is one of the largest in the city’s history–a $2 billion luxury complex including 340 residential units and 42 hotel rooms. The project site spans 17.4 contiguous acres, a feat achieved by a proposed land bridge over Merv Griffin Way that would connect the Beverly Hilton to the former Robinson-May property. This expanse includes plans for eight acres of gardens designed by local celebrated landscape architect Mark Rios, more than half of which will be open to the public. The structures and overall design come from the mind of Pritzker Prize-winning London-based Sir Norman Foster and his firm, Foster and Partners.
